Summary: GHCi removes source files!!

Initial Comment:
GHCi removes source files on windows under
certain circumstances! Of course, this is very
bad when it actually happens.

It happens when loading a source file in a
subdirectory, i.e.

> ghci -package wx  wx\HelloWorld.hs
[snip]
Loading package wx ... linking ... done.
Compiling Main             ( wx/HelloWorld.hs, interpreted )
Ok, modules loaded: Main.
*Main> :q
Leaving GHCi.

>ghci -package wx  wx\HelloWorld.hs
[snip]
Loading package wx ... linking ... done.
can't find file `wx\HelloWorld.hs'


It only happens when using the normal windows prompt.
It doesn't happen when using 'bash' (with cygwin).

Nice bug for an interpreter :-)
